Abstract

Purpose: The main purpose of the article is to present the theoretical aspects of sustainability and to diagnose the perception of sustainability in the opinion of Generation Z. Design/Methodology/Approach: The source materials used in the study can be broadly divided into two main groups: primary and secondary materials. The former primarily includes empirical research, i.e. data collected directly from respondents by means of a questionnaire and participatory observation. Key legal acts and normative documents were analyzed. In addition, the article uses data from the Central Statistical Office (Local Data Bank) on selected socio-economic indicators from 2019-2021. In the research process, the literature on the subject was analyzed, which made it possible to classify, generalize, describe and systematize the collected information. A questionnaire survey was also conducted among students aged 19 - 24 residing in Wrocław. Findings: The first part presents an analysis of the foundations of the theory of sustainable development. The second part describes the research methodology and presents the results of the research illustrating the issues discussed. The result of the analysis is the presentation of research on the perception of sustainability by Generation Z on the example of a selected city in Poland. Practical Implications: The analysis of the results of the study made it possible to formulate recommendations on the possibility of shaping sustainable development, taking into account the quality of life and well-being, as well as social equality, while limiting the depletion of natural resources and inhibiting environmental hazards. The problems of the studied area are many times complex, so the paper will analyze selected aspects of sustainable development. Originality/value: For the purpose of this article, a multifaceted, synthetic and critical analysis of the data available in the source literature was conducted. The proposed research can contribute to increasing awareness of sustainability among Generation Z
